Juke Joint All Stars: Jumpin' Live at Hotel Congress

No blues shouter embodied the rollicking good times that he sang of quite like raucous shouter Wynonie Harris. "Mr.Blues," as he was not-so-humbly known, joyously related risque tales of sex, booze, and endless parties in his trademark raspy voice over some of the jumpingest horn-powered combos of the post-war era. One doesn't attempt a tribute of this magnitude unless its certain that musicians taking up the challenge can deliver the goods. And these Juke Joint All Stars deliver!
